90. Lots wrong here.

First of all, it wasn't fair. Now Al's picture goes up on the CNN screen with weinstein, lauer, and moore. Not trump, but Franken gets put in that company every time his name is brought up, every time they nail another sleaze. How is that fair?

Second. Al bent to pressure from 30 of his colleagues. These are people with whom he worked for years. Imagine the blow when they all turned on him. None of their motives were good. They just ate him up for a press release. It was a stupid move that played right into the hands of the breitbart gang that made it up. Al said he would welcome an investigation. His accuser, tweeden, gulped and said she forgave Al and that she didn't want an investigation. The right wing machine only wanted to tarnish a senator that was so effectively going after trump and sessions. It was beyond their wildest dreams that Democrats would actually get rid of him. After their backstabbing, how could Al work with these former colleagues? They didn't call for an investigation; they said he was dead to them and should leave. It was a stupid move that did no good for anything Democrats are supposed to stand for.

Third. He is not just one guy. Would you say that Obama is just one guy, that anybody could do the job he did? Would you say that Hillary was just one woman and any woman could do what she did? Some people are better at what they do than others.

Fourth. Al's was a safe seat. Now it isn't.

Also notice that the string of accusations died the minute he resigned. With the real oppressors, the list just grows.

Democrats got had. The Democrats who took part in this do not deserve to be considered for party leadership positions. Let them stay in office and take marching orders from leaders who don't grab headlines at the expense of the party, who don't fall for republican tricks, and who are just smarter and more prepared to lead.
